Scientific breakthrough of human-to-whale conversation could lead to alien contact

These scientists are trying to make a connection between the deep sea and outer space.

A group of scientists said they had a first-of-its-kind conversation with a humpback whale that could lead to humans communicating with aliens one day.

The extraordinary exchange happened between researchers and a female humpback in August 2021 for 20 minutes in southeast Alaska. The scientists played a recorded “contact” call that boomed underwater, drawing the whale to their boat, according to a new study.

The marine mammal, named Twain, circled the team’s boat and consistently replied in conversational style to the “greeting signal,” according to a SETI Institute news release.

Dr. Brenda McCowan, of U.C. Davis, lauded the breakthrough.
